No Jordan Mickey on the list?

Jordan got votes for biggest steal. Hopefully, deservedly so.

Rozier was 6th on that list as well. He gets much more respect from his fellow rooks than the people on this board..

A couple of years ago, Olynyk tied for first on the survey's question about who would have the best career.

Getting Hunter at 28th is a steal but only time will tell..

Yep.  These polls give us something to talk about but mean nothing.  I also remember how glowingly Lebron spoke of Marcus Banks 1.0 when they were rookies in the summer league.

Any recognition is good, but this needs to be taken into perspective (and I say this every year when these results come out):

Only 3 rookies (out of 34) thought RJ Hunter was the best shooter.

For biggest steal, RJ Hunter got only 3 votes, Terry Rozier 2, and Jordan Mickey 1 out of the 31 rookies who voted.

Don't get me wrong, I like to see the results of these type of polls too, but they really mean just about nothing when you dissect it a little bit.  2nd place sounds much better than "got 3 votes" but it means the same thing.

Sorry to go all LrdBrd here

it wasn't a particularly prestigious draft class at the time so not a real stretch of the imagination then.  Of course, KO showed a lot more assertiveness in that summer league than he has in the real league since then.

When he's assertive on offense, he's a real plus on the floor.  When he's passive, not so much.

Didn't Olynyk have a lights out summer league that year?  It probably swayed some of the votes.  No reason to get overly excited about this rookie vote, especially since is probably being influenced mostly by summer league performance.  I think Hunter is really good value at 28 and probably the same for Rozier at 16 although a pick at 16 is less likely to be a "steal" than a pick at 28.  It is good feedback though.  I am happy to hear it.  Definitely better than not being voted as a steal.

positive spin -- all of our draft picks were considered a steal by at least someone as opposed to none of our guys were considered a steal by anyone.
